AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 21x28 cm.
"Fellah porteuse d'eau", a very beautiful vintage albumen print, large format, in very good condition with preserved contrasts, gray nuances and levels of detail ranging from very good to superb; by Hippolyte Arnoux.
The appeal of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or on cardboard support, which is rare.
Signed at the bottom right of the print, in the negative.
Deserves framing.
Will be shipped with its pH-neutral sleeve (ideal for a collection in good condition).
Hippolyte Arnoux was a photographer active in Egypt and North Africa in the second half of the 19th century. Based in Cairo, he developed a vast catalog of views, monuments and portraits of local “types” distributed to travelers and European collectors. His images, often carefully numbered and captioned in the negative, attest to a structured and commercial production, but also to a real sense of composition and light.
